About us.
We are Mogsy and Richard, and we love Italy!
This website was originally written by Cath and Mike, an English couple who lived in Italy for over 15 years. We have now taken over the site, and will continue to write about all things Italian!
We have visited Italy many times, including trips to Rome, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Bologna, and Milan, to name a few.
We currently live on Italy's doorstep, in Malta, which is just off the south coast of Sicily, so we are very familiar with most aspects of Italian travel, such as trains, airports, the currency and the lifestyle.
Before moving to Malta we spent 12 years in Spain, on the Costa Blanca. We know about the Mediterranean lifestyle!
We are keen runners, and have taken part in the Milan marathon, a swimrun event in Emilia-Romagna, and we recently took part in a half marathon through the prosecco-making region of Valdobbiadene in the north of Italy.
Mogsy started running in her 40´s, and has run many marathons, triathlons and an ultra marathon in places as far apart as New York, London, Hawaii and Sevilla, Spain, to name but a few! Her work has been in the sports industry with England Athletics, in the coach education sector.
Mogsy has also spent 6 months travelling round Europe in a campervan, including a route from Rome up through Tuscany to Venice and on to Lake Como - a great adventure!
Richard is in his 60's, a retired dentist, and had only run 5k when he met Mogsy 10 years ago. He has now completed his 7th marathon, in Milan.
The photo above is from our trip to the Prosecco region of Valdobbiadene last December, to run a half marathon through the vinyards.
We look forward to taking you with us on our journeys through Italy, and helping you with your trips!
